The problem with politics is that it's about power, not justice.
If politics can be summed up into one word, it will definitely be power. Not just material capabilities in terms of guns and weapons, but also wealth and ideology (second wave of imperialism)
No one really thinks of politics as about being just, like what Socrates and Plato would have imagined it to be.
We have become so corrupted, the society has become so corrupted
And justice is becoming more and more abstract an idea.
Eventually I still want to think that change is possible, that really people can make this place a better one.
But it's quite disheartening, really.
